I hope its going to be another 'good' channel and not more shopping/quiz crap. Sky3, E4, More4 and BBC3 are all making freeview a very good thing indeed. A Freeview movie channel would be cool, tho I can see Ch4 getting it for Januarys Celebrity Big Brother live feed.

I find it very amazing (and somewhat odd) that we are being led to believe that "five" are bidding huge amounts of money for a slot when in fact they actually are intitled to (I think) half of mux A. One would think that it would be more economical (for five) to terminate one of Top-Up's slots and pay compo.
I just wish that national grid actually looks at the type of channel that is actually needed on the platform, and not just accept the highest bid.
As this is freeview space (for the time being!) then I think that either a sport channel or a movie channel is needed. I would opt for the movies (remember that dtt is expanding into lots of homes of families of all ages, so a good mixture of programming is required)

I will be quite interested in seeing the result from this latest bid round and the views of different people when the channel starts broadcasting.
